Year 9 Design & Technology

Year 9 Design and Technology students at St Andrews College have been tasked with an exciting project: to redesign two spaces within the school—one interior room and one outdoor area. As part of their assessment, students must create detailed floor plans that adhere to or strive toward architectural industry standards. This task challenges them to think critically about space, functionality, and aesthetics while developing essential skills in architectural communication. Through this hands-on project, students are gaining valuable experience in design principles and technical drawing, setting a solid foundation for their future endeavours in architecture and design.

The last two weeks have been an exploration of Architectural Design. Inspired by their own favourite Interior or Architectural Designers, Year 9 should be commended for their efforts in their creation of beautifully refined floor plans that will provide the foundation for their CAD models.
